August 23, 2009 Newsletter

Wow! Excellent turnout and the weather even co-operated this weekend. We had 56 shooters and 28 reshoots for a total of 84 guns. That would be a new attendance record.

And I want to thank the scorekeepers. I only had to add up the scores for 5 or 6 stages. I could not have posted the results to the USPSA web site on Sunday night without your help. Thanks again!

We had two (2) new shooters this month: Carol Brent and Tom VanDiest.

Storage Shed Expansion

If you are a member of Crooked Creek Conservation Club, we need your help this weekend (August 29-30), and you can get your work hours in. We are going to close in the open end of the storage shed and double the capacity. We will also put in a garage type door to make getting the props in and out easier. We will need hammers, saws (electric and hand), drills, levels, etc. If you have a pneumatic nail gun appropriate for putting up T1-11 and 2x6's, we could use it. We will start at 9 AM.

Contact Ed Henry (440-221-4306 hen3ry_AT_practicalpistol_DOT_net) or Bud Connolly (440-862-6495 or stats_AT_practicalpistol_DOT_net) to sign up and ask questions.

LOST & FOUND

1 small Buck knife with USPSA Area 8 inscribed on the blade.

Para Ordinance mag and box of 40 S&W ammo.

If you now see a U for your classification (that would be you Vern!), then maybe your membership has lapsed. USPSA has instituted a new policy. If you let your membership lapse for more than 60 days, you will lose your classification. If you want to keep your classification, please keep your membership current. Remember, if you sign up for (or renew) a USPSA membership at the match, you can shoot the match for free (that's like getting your USPSA membership for $25). For the new members, when you receive your first issue of Front Sight, use the PIN on the cover to sign up to receive an e-mail notification when results are posted to the USPSA Local and Major Match results page. Our results are always posted to the USPSA Local Match Results first. It takes a little while to massage the junk HTML pages that come out of EzWinScore.

We also have Crooked Creek Conservation Club applications. Ask Bill, Ed or myself for one if you are interested in joining. We hold a pistol practice on Wednesday evening starting about 4:00 PM for members.

I still have Muff Sweats for sale. 1 pair is $14 and two or more are $13 each. See Atto, Ed or Bud at registration if you would like a pair or two.

Our next match will be on Sunday, September 27th at Crooked Creek in Hartsgrove. Setup will be on Saturday, September 26th starting at 1:30 PM. You can shoot one gun after setup. And we will continue the practice of running one classifier each match. Now, you don't have any reason not to be classified before that big match.

Signups for Sunday start at 7:30AM. We will run two (2) squads on Sunday at 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Please arrive in time to register, gear-up and be ready to shoot. I will try to design the stages to keep us on schedule so that you don't have to wait for the second squad. The last squad will help with teardown.
